    Austin has packed the last few weeks with training and fundraising!

    At the end of November, he took on the intense “100 Rounds of Kumite” challenge and even joined an additional session dedicated to mastering the Bassai Dai Kata. On top of that, he and his team fired up two sausage sizzles, raising funds to help get them to the World Cup next year.

    Last weekend, Austin traveled to Christchurch to compete in the GKR NZ Nationals! Although he didn’t come away with a medal this time, he gave an outstanding performance. In a group of around 30 competitors, he scored perfect marks in his first two kata rounds and narrowly missed the finals after being knocked out in the third. He also held his own in the Kumite rounds, showing great skill and determination throughout the competition.

    This was followed on Monday by a dedicated training session for the team off to represent New Zealand at next year's World Cup.
